They are pricy, but the 4wheel mags seem to like them.
I like the profile. Of course, I keep convincing myself I don't need a rack, but I like them so much. This one ranks near the top for me. I just wish the full ones looked as good with the top down.

Yes I have installed one.

They are awesome.

Very solid, well built, superb coating, have tabs in all the right places for lights.

I have talked to the guys at Gobi and asked them to modify mine to add a mesh floor to the whole rack (the factory one comes only 1/2 covered), which they were happy to do (cost $100 extra).

The ladder is not very useful but my 9 year old think its the coolest, and it was a freebie when I ordered.

Had only two small issues:

1. Needed to put about 1/2" spacer to allow the install of my AEV snorkel (easy fix).

2. I have an after market fuel door installed, the rack intrudes about an inch into the door. Solution - trim door.

Other than that, it's a heavy rack so definitely need two people to put it up.

Best comment I got so far: " Hey... your Jeep is what Hummers dream about at night "
